I love art. I don’t know what or how to describe but I really do. I do not have the talent to draw, so I really appreciate every FFXI fan art pieces that goes on any website.

Lets put it this way, even my girlfriend Otak is an artist LOL :D!

Overtime, I’ve fell in love with giving out FFXI fanart commission as well (Secret: That’s how I provoke Otak, a commish! XD). Not only you get something really personalized in return, but you are actually helping someone out, kinda like donation, but you know they will use it well. Art school, supplies and equipment was never cheap :x so I know my commission can make dreams come true.

So yea, next time when you are thinking about what to give for your FFXI buddies as presents or just about anything, consider having a personalized art of you and your friend drawn! It’d be a sweet present (though, give it some time, artist can’t draw overnight!)

Yes, I love each and every piece I’ve ever gotten, I’ve taken my time to compile a list of all the art I’ve ever commission/received! I hope you enjoy it XD

If you are interested in getting a personalized art piece done (hence, a commission), I’ve compiled an article on Art Commission Etiquette for those that are interested :P

Mai’s Commission

I currently have a few outgoing commission, like paid for all that stuff :P However, if you’d like to draw a piece for Mai and Otak, feel free to drop me a message. I love to commission :P and yes you’d get your compensation before you even start, just so you know I am serious :P

• Commission: Renard, Recheche.
• Kiriban (Won, YAY!): salacia-of-vanadiel

Maiev FFXI/FFXIV Fanart Showcase!

Title: Maiev Otak inside Mog House!

Artist: elffelart

Type of Art: Commission

Date: December 2011

Comments: Who doesn’t like Matt Cummings’ art…?! For the longest time, Mai and Otak have been eyeing on a commission by Eiffelart… and we’ve finally pulled the trigger. On his birthday =)

We thought, a couple of years back we did… naked taru. Last year we did dancing taru. This year, we’ll do DRUNK taru LOL :D~! So we’ve drawn you some… wicked drunk taru on Christmas night!

Common now, when you think of Otak and Maiev, isn’t that just the cutest taru on Earth? We’ve brought that romance from RL to art =)

Eiffelart’s legendary art never fails to impress :D the emotions, details, the background, colors were all just so perfect! The details too =)

Otak was very impressed and had a very nice giggle with the artwork, and we just couldn’t wait to share this masterpiece with everyone through our Christmas Card =)

We hope you like it :D!

Title: Mai Otak at Windurst!

Artist: ainiwaffles

Type of Art: Commission

Date: December 2011

Comments: This was a commission that I had it ready a few months ago. Drawn by Ainiwaffles, this file was a huge 15MB in transmission, height is 5600px x 3500 px. There is a TREMENDOUS amount of detail in the high-res version and… was drawn with surgical precision.

What I love about aini’s coloring is high contrast =) It’s so so so colorful, it looks great on the poster. It is eye catching :) She drawn our RL face with FFXI clothing as requested and it turned out awesome :) the trees, water, details were just all fantastic. It was worth the buck. It’s also her first commission drawing RL faces, so referencing from a picture wasn’t easy for her but she took the artistic challenge and handle it very well =)

Thanks ainiwaffles =)

Title: Aydeewa!

Artist: blackash

Type of Art: Gift/Kiriban

Date: November 2011

Comments: One of the best places in FFXI has to be Aydeewa Subterrain. Together with the music, the magical glow of the caves makes it quite a romantic place. Blackash totally brought Mai and Otak’s romance into Aydeewa, which is already romantic to begin with, and make it grand slam even more epic :D!

Just chilling, enjoying a quiet night with no aggro just inside Aydeewa Subterrain. I love that place :) Love those brush strokes on the flowers and making it just pure magical place for two of us :)

Thanks Blackash for the Kiriban :D! Keep in mind this is just a Kiriban =) and blackash still puts a ton of time into each piece, with work, with love!

Artist Comments:
Kiriban prize for :iconmajeev:

Artist: Neosorcerer

Type of Art: Gift/Kiriban

Date: Sept 2011

Comments: Otak and Mai recently went to Europe, and we took some pictures with the grass. Right when we came back, we saw neosorcerer has completed the commission and whoa, it was laying on the grass as lalafell.

Oh boy it so happens to resemble some of the pictures from our pic, instantly bringing back good memories. The color was so warm and sweet that Otak and I can’t resist to buy a coffee for neosorcerer although it was just a Kiriban!

We are in fact, see if neosorcerer’s going/wanting to do another commish! This Kiriban was beyond epic!

Thanks again Neosorcerer!

Artist Comments:

Title: 31111 Kiriban!

Artist: xMireille-Chanx

Type of Art: Gift/Kiriban

Date: August 2011

Comments: This gotta be one of the hard piece to draw. I mean, it was done in real-deal real skillz feltpen :3 When Mireille offered me either digital or classic, I took the classic route and oh boy, it was amazing :D!

I haven’t seen this type of FFXI fanart for ages :D it was really nice seeing how Mai just being a silly Mai and Otak is like um… errr… hahaha!

Thanks again for the Kiriban

Artist Comments:

Omg… oAo
Thanks for 31,111+ pageviews!!
This is for my past Kiriban of 31,111 pageviews. ~Majeev caught it. :3 He asked for me to draw his Tarutaru and his gf’s taru from Final Fantasy XI, his being in Paladin AF and his gf’s in complete Homam.
Why does the Homam have to have so much detail to it, lol. I probably killed it not putting all the detail, but I tried to put as much as I could without overdoing it. :/
I’m so happy with myself, not only did I do a traditional piece, but I put a decent background on it as well. I really though, need to buy me some new Prismas, my old ones I’ve had for like…ever and they are so dried out. These new markers I got, Professional markers, they’re way to dark and watery and I can’t blend them very well, that’s why this picture looks so dark. But overall, I love how this turned out.
Keep an eye out for my next Kiriban~ :3

On one side, I feel like I succeeded, since people fell in. But then I feel bad, since people now start thinking about gifts :(

Title: Pay Attention!

Artist: Blackash

Type of Art: Commission

Date: March 2011

Comments: This commission was for my friend Tazo’s wedding. I wanted to be a little personal with the card so I’ve decided to get a commission and use it as a wedding card. However, the print shop fail :( so I ended up just slipping it as a printed picture :( I bet she’s too busy to even read it but anyway!

Tazo and her “husband” met via studying in classroom. Tazo was plain-out playing her Nintendo DS when her husband (now) lol walked in. So I had her Taru drawn as playing DS, husband the scholar (both teachers) and I am the LS teacher, with a joke on board “Remember to bring Cosmo Cleanse”, because Tazo tries her hardest to forget to bring Cosmo Cleanse :< So that was kinda the joke. I gave Blackash literally, 3 days to do it and she did an amazing job, given the fact that I literally gave her no time to think or scribble! I always knew her as someone who's good with drawing but just never had the chance to commission her! I really enjoyed working with her :D! Thanks for the commission! You can find that commission on her DA.

Artist Comments:
Commission for ~Majeev for a friend who is getting married!

I hope they enjoy it! I got some good, drawing Taru’s from the back, practice with this. They still are difficult to me.

The detail was amazing! I like how she even try to present that this website is “the StarOnion” by attaching a little onion on top! Oh for sure I’ll be taking good care of it. I won’t be attaching it to a keychain and get banged up :x. Very beautiful gift! We’ll definitely take a picture one day with those dolls for you!

Mai is 3cm (just over an inch) tall and Otak is 2.5 cm (1in) they’re both made with sculpey III and painted faces. Hopefully everyone gets what the little charm is supposed to be (hint:the jump rings are stars)

So when she drew me that commission, she somehow decided to draw herself disconnecting (DC) – -” which NEVER happened! So she’s not a DC Queen, but she just wanted to make it more “interesting”! lolz!

Artist: Aene (Cactuar)

Type of Art: Gift

Date: August 2010

Comments: Aene is so cool :P Drew Mai lalafella out of the blue! Either she find Mai so annoying that she had to draw it out to punch, or the opposite. I think its because I’m annoying rofl :P because I just don’t know anything about FFXIV *grins*

But yea, we had a great time together with our Lalafella :P testing the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV MMO. The game still needs polish as of this point, but the Lalafell is just so cute ^_^ it kinda masks over the bad stuff

Title: Our Adventure Never Ends!

Artist: Otak (Lurazeda)

Type of Art: Girlfriend Art ^_^;

Date: June 2010

Comments: Lets put it this way, this art piece holds a special place in our hearts, because…. this is how Otak and Mai got together :P Through this very commission.

A year and a month ago, Verohawke from Siren and I wanted a commission together! We’ve been a blogging friends for ages. We also do market research at the back and chat about gil making gil strategy. Anyway, so we’re like hay lets get a commission together to remember this awesome friendship!

We shortlisted a few artist to do the commission. I let Verohawke pick since I always do commission. She selected Otak! So I contacted Otak for a commission. So happens Otak wanted a break from drawing boring stuff, so she took Mai commission. I didn’t compensate her all that well :P but she took it o.o”

I then wrote Otak a 1000 word essay (she still LOL up to this day), of exactly what I want. I guess that 1000 word freaked her out, so she decided to read 3 words per day. Which meant it took her a year to comprehend what I want for that commission LOL. Yes, she finally finish drawing it after 1 year and 1 month :D

The picture is a symbol of what I want to do with Otak one day, I’ll fly a plane and she’ll be traveling around the world with me :D She will help me navigate while I fly :D She can take her MAC while I take my PC with me (lol!~)

Also, because she took so long to read my 1000 word essay, I had all the excuse in the world to talk to her. All I need to do is ask for the progress and I can start a conversation :P

Anyway, that’s how we started :D “Our Adventure Never Ends!” :D

Artist Comments:
So~ Finally I’ve finished Maiev’s Commission after…

one year and a month lol.

It’s also the pic connected the dots between me and him and .. we became lovers ^_^ our adventure in rl just started hehe

I’ve also submitted this pic to the fanart contest =)
Glad I finished it on time XD …
… and NO, this pic doesn’t mean that we are sailing to FFXIV rofl!
There are still many islands in Vana’diel remain unknown to us right :D?

I love hanging out at the control room when I take the airship in FFXI lol, there are many interesting details in the interior design. I had lots of fun (and a bit pain) to draw the cabin in this pic :D

Comments: Although this was Priestessofpie’s submission piece, the fact that she remembers Mai out of her 100 friends already made me happy ^_^; PoP’s always cheerful and loves to draw, and I was so happy that she was spreading that love of both drawing and friendship in her FFXI 8th Anniversary Contest. It’s already a win to me! :D

Mai and Otak is at bottom right, so is Shiyu-Chan, Blackash and ivloongoddess83

Artist Comments:
Though the boundaries between us
may seem far apart
the bonds of friendship will transcend
and bridge from heart to heart.

Here’s my entry for the 8th Anniversary FFXI Art Contest. There’s so many people in here, I feel like I rushed it too much, but I was just out of time!

Sorry if you’re not in here. =( I still :heart: you.

Title: Maiev of Fenrir

Artist: Lyali (PriestessOfPie) and Rinielenika

Type of Art: Maiev’s Fan Art

Date: May 2010

Comments: This is part of the series drawn by Rinielenika.

This one was done by my wonderful friend Lyali / Priestessofpie! She took a completely different approach, one that I never expected O.o, is to color it at night with the moonlight. I like the lone yet happy atmosphere that it ended up with!

Reminds me I’m at Gotham City, sitting on top of a building looking down on a night with full moon :D

However, I think I could use somebody beside me, sitting on the roof at night by myself :( looks a little sad lolz!

I want to see if I can get a few more artist to color it in a variety of ways, then put em all in a poster, just to see the unique style of coloring from various artists.

This version is colored by Daggy. She selected a more summer feel by drawing extra leaves, using more of a bright color tone to illustrate Mai in the sun, stylish. Too bad it wasn’t naked :P

First thing that comes to mind, was probably the Aht Urhgan Whitegate pier :P I guess I am sitting there waiting for that damn boat to arrive!

The coloring was solid, the cloth was nicely colored as well, and hehe the cloud and wave gave it a dreamy effect :P

I think I’m just missing a fishing pole and I’m going to go fish out some Kraken for Angel Skin lolz~

Type of Art: Gift

Date: January 2010

Comments: I was so amazed and its really sweet of Ciermel to give Mai a doodle! Ciermel and Mai have always been good friends, since 2004 and it was such a nice time. Ciermel and Mai are like sisters in-game and… we really enjoy each other’s company and also sharing our success.

I guess this time, she was happy that Mai finally found her other part, Otak and wanted to celebrate this wonderful achievement with a doodle!

Thanks Ciermel! You’re the best :)
